Hi MMS – Does Alaska limit the number of times I can match (e.g. once every three years, once per lifetime)? I read on another blog that “Alaska, for example, limits these matches to once during the lifetime of an account.” Thank you in advance.

At what point do they start matching status through 2018? I am currently AA Platinum and will be AA Platinum again in 2017. I won’t meet the elite qualifying dollar requirement to earn that status in the future. I am planning on switching to Alaska in 2018. The ability to earn status and distance based miles by flying AA, Delta, or Alaska is very appealing. Hopefully, Alaska won’t switch to revenue based miles anytime soon.

This is the auto response after I submitted my request -answers some questions asked above!
Thank you for your interest in our award winning Mileage Plan. If your request
did not include a copy of both sides of your current elite card and a screen
shot of your online account showing your name, current status and YTD miles
flown please re-submit. Allow 2-4 weeks for processing once we have received
your documents. When your Tier Match is complete, you’ll receive a welcome
email and can check your status at alaskaair.com/myaccount. Please note that

status is valid through 12/31/2017. We look forward to welcoming you into our
program and flying with you for many years to come! Also note, we only offer a
